Some of the best men I've ever met and myself out enjoying a drill day. Probably 6 or 7 years ago. We were doing SaR training and picking up the woods while we were at it. Cleaned the woods and still found our victim before the other teams.

I've never been there. Is the lake level really down?

That's at winter pool a few years back. Normally up to the trees in the background at summer pool.

Seen this weird effect tonight had to take a picture. Sun just dipped out of sight, but you still have nice blue sky, and the moon shining.

Kids are finally a good age to do some exploring and be adventurous. Recently did some floating down Whitewater river, hiking at Clifty falls and Turkey run.

I've been fortunate to have a decent amount of outdoor time. To this day, one of my most favored memories is from when I was about the age of your kids there. Older guy from our church (like 22 or so LOL) took me on a 2 day trip on Sugar Creek. We put in around Crawfordsville a bit before day break and made our way down to Shades. We camped in the primitive are and hiked during the day. Put in before daylight the next day and went down to Turkey Run. We were off the creek before folks started showing up. Did some hiking there and then found a guy for hire to haul us back to Crawfordsville.

All these years later, still appreciate what that guy did for me.

Pro tip: Never pass on the opportunity to take a kid on an outdoor adventure.
